I HAVE A 2002 YAMAHA GRIZZLY 660 ATV. WHILE ON A TRAIL RIDE IN AUGUST 2012, I OPENED THE FUEL CAP AND NOTICED THE FUEL WAS BOILING IN THE FUEL TANK. AT THE TIME, THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WAS HOT FROM NORMAL OPERATION. SUBSEQUENTLY, I CALLED THE PEORIA YAMAHA DEALER, THEY REFERENCED MY VIN NUMBER, AND SAID THERE WAS NO SAFETY RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE. HOWEVER, I HAVE A FRIEND WHO SHOWED ME HIS RECALL LETTER FOR THE SAME MAKE MODEL AND YEAR ATV. THE LETTER INDICATED A "HEAT KIT" HAD BEEN DESIGNED BY YAMAHA FOR THE 2002 AND 2003 GRIZZLY 660 AND WILL BE INSTALLED BY THE DEALER. I NEVER RECEIVED A LETTER STATING THIS PROBLEM EXISTED AND THERE WAS REPAIR KIT AVAILABLE. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT FUEL BOILING IN THE GAS TANK OF MY ATV! *TR

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
